In the wake of JWST's launch, the prospects for constraining the Epoch of Reionisation are sunnier than ever. This conference will provide a wide overview on the state of the modeling of reionisation, current and upcoming observations of the EoR, and prospects for studying the intergalactic medium across cosmic time.
In the wake of JWST's launch, the prospects for constraining the Epoch of Reionisation are sunnier than ever. This conference will provide a wide overview on the state of the modeling of reionisation, current and upcoming observations of the EoR, and prospects for studying the intergalactic medium across cosmic time.
The central themes of the conference will be:
Modeling the Epoch of Reionisation: From large-scale numerical simulations to semi-analytic and semi-numerical models, what recent progress has been made in modeling the epoch of reionisation at 5.5<z<10? How do we best overcome the scale problem, coupling parsec to Gigaparsec scales? What extra modeling ingredients, if any, do we need in order to compare to existing and upcoming observations?
Forecasts of the 21cm signal: As theorists, are we ready for the first maps of reionisation from 21cm experiments? How should we best perform parameter inference from the first detections? What can we expect to learn?
Observational tests of the EoR: How much do we already know about the reionisation history? What can we learn from observations with JWST? How do we best utilise the information coming from high-redshift quasar absorption to constrain reionisation?
The intergalactic medium across cosmic time: What can we learn from studying the intergalactic medium after hydrogen reionisation? When does helium reionisation happen, how long does it last, and what can we learn about its sources? What are the prospects for precision studies of the IGM at z<5?
